If you have lived or worked in Canada and in another country, or you are the survivor of someone who has lived or worked in Canada and in another country, you may be eligible for pensions and benefits from Canada and/or from the other country because of a social security agreement.
The full retirement age for survivors is age 66 for people born in 1945-1956 and will gradually increase to age 67 for people born in 1962 or later. If you have Social Security credits in both the United States and Canada, you may be eligible for benefits from one or both countries.
If you are a resident of the United States, these retirement benefits are treated as US social security payments for tax purposes. The benefits are taxed only in the US—not Canada. Essentially, the IRS ignores the fact that these are Canadian retirement benefits and treats them like regular US social security benefits.

The agreement with Canada helps many people who, without the agreement, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability or survivors benefits under the Social Security system of one or both countries.
If you receive Canadian retirement or pension benefits while living in the US, you should report them on form 1040 or a 1040A (depending on which one you're filing).
You can qualify to receive Old Age Security pension payments while living outside of Canada if one if these reasons applies to you: you lived in Canada for at least 20 years after turning 18. you lived and worked in a country that has a social security agreement with Canada.
Fortunately, non-residents of Canada typically remain eligible for CPP and OAS payments. (It should be noted, though, that in order to receive OAS payments, Canadians living in the US must have lived in Canada for at least 20 years after turning 18.)
